VDM Alleges Bayo Onanuga’s ‘False Narrative’ to Silence Him Has Crumbled

Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has accused presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga of spreading false information to damage his reputation and silence his criticism. In a public statement, VDM challenged claims tied to a disputed audio clip, arguing that political insiders unhappy with his influence plotted against him—and ultimately failed. He sees the move as an attempt to “cage” his outspoken commentary on governance. The exchange has split opinions online. Supporters warn against political intimidation of vocal digital activists, while critics urge influencers to handle sensitive topics responsibly amid growing concerns over misinformation. The episode underscores the rising power struggles between social media voices and political figures in Nigeria.

What do you think about VDM's claim that Onanuga spread false info just to silence him? Does this change how we view presidential spokesmen?

I know this is messy, but what evidence would show if Onanuga really aimed to silence VDM?

It's curious that VDM's challenge focuses on a disputed audio clip, yet we haven't seen clear evidence either way presented publicly.

I'm not convinced VDM hasn't benefited from the attention this dispute brings; could he be using the controversy to boost his profile?

We should demand both sides publish the audio transcript and any verifying data so the public can judge the facts without bias or spin.
